I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Your home is stunning! It was well described (online pics do not do it justice). Location is just miles outside of Galena but due to winding roads it is about a 15-20 min drive, which was expected. The entire property was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a girl's weekend getaway trip. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The hot tub was perfect and fit all of us. We did not take advantage of the fire pit, but had it not been so cold out we absolutely would have. We loved the coziness of the fireplaces. Great kitchen for cooking! Great supply of games. The only negatives were, the entry door is downstairs so heavy coolers and such needed to be carried upstairs to the kitchen (main floor), and the narrow winding driveway (3 cars fit just fine). Overall, we had a fabulous time and look forward to visiting again! ##### Andrea M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea M.

Loved the deck and the owner provides binoculars to view wildlife. Pulled up to a perfect full rainbow set low among the trees on the side of the property. Hot tub is a nice perk that we used after returning from the pool. Home was immaculate. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Owner stocks more than a typical home rental which is very generous. ##### Kathleen S.

Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Getaway We enjoyed staying in Galena for a few nights and taking advantage of all it has to offer. This house was perfect- it had all the amenities we needed, was well kept, comfortable and spacious. We liked that it felt private and secluded but was close enough to the Territory’s activities. We will be back! ##### Holly S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary K.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the house 6 months in advance & had 10 family members in our group. The house was comfortable, had many up to date amenities, & had the owners club benefits too. The only problems we had were that the upstairs tv remote didn’t work initially after having the maintenance man visit & the downstairs shower drain backed up. We got the tv to work but even after using some Drano, the shower remained clogged. Overall it was a lovely home & we would rent again ! ##### Pam C.

Reviewer Comments: My friends and I stayed at the Owl Creek Lodge for a bachelorette weekend in Galena. The lodge was clean, spacious, quiet, comfortable and private. It was a hot weekend, but the AC kept up. The hot tub was enjoyable as well as the outdoor patio. Alll bedrooms were in the basement except the master suite. Not too far from Downtown Galena and we used the local bus service to get around. 10/10 would reccomend! ##### A guest from Chicago, IL This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian S.
